Hi! I see that you’re getting a message from the GettingOut Visits app saying it needs audio and microphone permissions, even though you've already enabled them. Let’s try to get this sorted out together.
To start, could you confirm a couple of things for me? 1. When exactly does the app show this permissions message? Is it right when you open the app, or when you try to start a video visit? 2. Have you tried restarting your device since enabling the permissions? Sometimes, that helps the app recognize the changes. 3. Are you using any battery saver or app permission manager that might override your settings?
While I wait for your answers, here are some step-by-step steps tailored to your Android 10 device and WebKit browser environment:
1. Double-check App Permissions: - Go to Settings on your Android device. - Tap Apps & notifications > See all apps > Find GettingOut Visits in the list. - Tap Permissions and ensure Microphone and Audio/Media (or Microphone only, if there is no separate audio listing) are allowed. - If permissions appear enabled, try toggling them off and then back on.
2. Clear App Cache and Data: Sometimes residual data can cause issues. - Go back to the app's info page under Settings > Apps. - Tap Storage & cache. - Tap Clear cache first. Test the app. If the issue persists, try Clear storage/data (note: this will log you out and reset app data).
3. App Update & Reinstall: - Make sure the app is updated to the latest version through the Google Play Store. - If it is updated and still shows errors, uninstall the app completely and then reinstall it.
4. Microphone Access at the System Level: - Sometimes the system's privacy settings might interfere. - Check under Settings > Privacy > Permission manager > Microphone to see if any other app has interfering permissions or restrictions.
5. Check for Conflicting Apps: - Apps that use the microphone (like call recorders, other VoIP apps) might cause conflicts. Try closing or uninstalling them temporarily to test.
If you have tried all these or if something else is happening, please let me know. I’ll dig deeper for you! Just to note, this issue is known for some users despite permissions being on, and these steps often resolve it15.
Are you comfortable trying these steps? Let me know how it goes!
